Mysteries of Kalos
After winning his first Gym Battle and earning the Bug Badge from Gym Leader Viola; Lucas now feels confident in his abilities as a Pokemon Trainer especially with Red's mentorship. The Boys were talking about Lucas's battle as they were now thinking about a way to celebrate Lucas's first Gym Battle.
"Dude you we're so awesome there in your first battle and you really held your own in battle." Red put his arm around Lucas and gave his best friend a smile as Lucas turned his head to look at Red.
"I wonder what some of the other Gym Leaders are going to be like?" thought Lucas as he placed his hand over his chin and started to think about what they are going to be like.
'Well since the Gym Leaders all use certain elements of Pokemon perhaps it might be a good idea to catch more Pokemon out in the open, so you can train them and have an advantage in battle." Red said, as the boy looked at Lucas with a smile as Lucas nodded; the boys then heard what sounded like their stomachs growling. "I think we should go find somewhere to eat." Red looked around and saw a building with a sign on it that had a drawing of a cup on it.
"I wonder if that's a cafe, Hey Red want to go inside and see what they have?"
"Sure bro. let's go celebrate your first win and chow down." Red and Lucas walked into the Cafe as they were greeted by a Waitress.
"Hello there cuties; would you like mor me to show you a table and i'll hand you our menu?" Red and Lucas nodded their heads up and down as the Waitress lead the boys to their table and handed them their menus. "i'll give you a few minutes to look at our menu before you guys decide." The Waitress left as Red and Lucas would study over the menu.
"I guess we can just have some burgers and friends, what do you say?" asked Red looking at Lucas
"Sure, I guess, can we have milk shakes too?"
"Heck Yeah; sounds great to me." The Waitress returned to the table as Red and Lucas looked ready to order. "We'll take two burgers, two fries, and two chocolate milkshakes."
"All right then, i'll take these out of our way and i'll come back with orders as soon as they are done." The Waitress picked up the Menus and left for the kitchen; the door opened and a group of guys wearing black suits came in and we're greeted by a waitress.
"Oh you must be the Ghost Research Team coming to investigate the Urban Legends about the Ghost Girl in Lumoise City, well would you like me to show you, your table." The Waitress lead the men to a table which was across from where Red and Lucas we're sitting, as the Waitress handed the men some menus. "I'll be back to take your orders." The Waitress said as she left for the Kitchen as Red and Lucas approached the men.
"Pardon us, we we're wondering, what is your Paranormal Team doing here, and what's this about a Ghost Girl?" asked Red as the men turned around to look at the two boys.
"Hello there kids; we're a Paranormal Research Team, and we've come to do a Paranormal investigation on two Urban Legends here in the Kalos Region."
"Cool; but what was that you were talking about a Ghost Girl, and a Faceless man?" asked Lucas looking a bit creeped out.
"Well these are two Urban Legends that have been talked about throughout Kalos and we thought for a Special Halloween Investigation, we would go search for some answers ourselves."
"Sounds like fun can we come along?" asked Red as Lucas looked at Red with a bit of fear.
"Red, why would you ask that?"
"Come on dude, it'll be fun, and don't worry about anything; i'll protect you." said Red with a smile. "Besides it's for Halloween, it can be fun, trust me." Red patted Lucas's shoulder as Lucas nodded with a smile.
"Sure you boys can come along with us; we were looking for some volunteers anyways; would you boys like to know more about the myths before we head out?" "Both Red and Lucas nodded their heads as the waitress returned with Red and Lucas's food; the boys would eat while the researchers ordered their food and after the waitress took their menus, the researchers began to talk about one of the Urban Legends. "There's an Office Building in Lumoise City, where some visitors have claimed to have seen the lights flicker on and off, and the spirit of a girl shows up looking for, The One."
"Sounds creepy; sounds like something we might want to look at." Red and Lucas were listening as Lucas still looked a bit petrified.
"Yes there have been other clues such as a message in Lumoise Station about as one waiting for their special someone in their special place."
"Maybe there's a connection, well when are we going to see it."
"After we eat we're going to drive to the building in Lumoise City where sightings of her have been reported; we have a EVP Box and a Ouija Board to contact any spirits so we can perhaps get some answers."
"Contacting Spirits; that sounds terrifying." said Lucas looking petrified.
"Don't worry boys; we're just going to do some research and maybe get some answers we won't let anything happen to you." said the researcher as Red and Lucas nodded both nervously and excitedly, as everybody finished eating, paid for their meals, left tips, and all made their way to a van outside the cafe as team started loading up with Red and Lucas inside as the Van started up and left the Cafe as they Van would start and the driver would be on his way to Lumoise City.
"Have you guys done any other Paranormal Investigations?" asked Red curiously as he was comforting a rather petrified looking Lucas.
"We did a Investigation on the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town." those words sent a chill down Red's spine.
"I remember that place; to this day I still have nightmares about that place." said Red as the Van continued to make it's way through route 4 and into Lumiose City as it carefully approached an office building in town.
"This is the place let's go in and set up for tonight." As the Group got out of the van and started setting up Equipment such as cameras, lights, night vision, EVP boxes, and a Ouija Board to contact the spirit inside the building as night began to fall over Lumoise City. "OK everybody let's turn out all the lights here and lock the doors so we can begin our investigation." The Head of the team said as they wen't to find a switch box and flipped off the power to all rooms as everyone was now standing in darkness.
"Red, i'm scared now."
"Me too Luke, but I got my flashlight out, in case." Red took out and shined a flashlight.
"Cool I got one too!" said Lucas taking out his flashlight. "I really hope there are no ghosts here."
"Me too, but let's stay with them as we do our investigation." said Red as he and Lucas found the team gathered with their night vision and lighting up some candles as they had taken out a Ouija Board. "Is this a Ouija Board?"
"Yes these are made to contact the spirits, and if there's any they'll answer whatever questions you ask it; but be very careful this is not a toy, boys. If something goes wrong you could end up unleashing a spirit and it can haunt you for the rest of your life or worse posses you." both Red and Lucas gulped at the thought of being possessed by an evil spirit; but they're here to have fun, and maybe find a Ghost.
"Ok well let's see how this thing works for ourselves." Red said as he and Lucas plopped down on the floor as one of the researchers took out a Ouija Board and the Planchete.
"If we're ready let's begin this Seance and attempt to contact the spirit who is haunting this Building, also Go Alakazam!" said the man as he called out an Alakazam from a Pokeball. Red was very familiar with Alakzaam from the battle with Sabrina back in Saffron City, but Lucas wasn't as he took out his Pokedex to record information about the Psychic Pokemon.
"Alakazam, the PSI Pokemon; this Pokemon uses Psychic attacks to overcome any Pokemon." "Cool a Psychic Pokemon." said the Psychic boy, now seeing that there are Psychic Pokemon out there.
"Alakazam will be used also to help track any spirits down, during our investigation, as well as to see if there are any Ghost Pokemon here as well."
"Ghost Pokemon?" asked Lucas with a shudder.
"Yes, though mysterious, they are really strong Pokemon, Psychic Types are weak against them, but Psychic Types like Alakazam are known to have a good way to mentally track a spirit in haunted places, which is what we use to help track spirits in several investigations we've done in the past."
"That sounds really cool; by the way I forgot to tell you guys, I have Psychic abilities myself." Lucas said letting the team know of his Psychic abilities.
"Oh really, can you show us?" asked the researcher as Lucas stretched his arm and closed his eyes as a wave of PSI energy surrounded Lucas as he concentrated his energy to lift a candle off the ground as the researchers seemed impressed. "Wow that's amazing; but is there a way for you to contact the dead, or figure out what could've happened here?" Lucas gently put the candle down as Lucas began to shudder at the thought of using his Psychic powers to contact the deceased.
"Oh I don't know if i'm comfortable talking with any spirits with my own Psychic gifts." Lucas looked freaked out as Red placed a hand on Lucas's shoulder for comfort.
"You know all of this sounds creepy to me too, but Lucas do you think that maybe if you can use your psychic gift on ghosts and spirits, there's a chance you can use it on just about anything, and who knows you might actually find a way to bring peace to the Spirit that resides here." Red was looking to give Lucas some encouragement and it seemed like anytime Red would give Lucas words of encouragement, any type of fear that builds up in him slowly fizzles out as Lucas nodded his head up and down.
"Thanks Red, and OK i'll do it; but I hope neither of us get's possessed."
"That will not happen, nothing will attack us tonight, bro."
"Ok Kids, it's time for us to begin the Seance with the Ouija Board, if you want to place your hands on the Planchette along with me, as I ask the spirits here the questions." Red and Lucas along with the other researchers placed their hands on the Planchette as the Head Researcher began speaking.
"We are Paranormal Investigators, we are here tonight to contact the Spirit of a Girl who haunts this building and get some answers, if there's any Spirits here tonight, please contact us through the Ouija Board." After a few moments of silence, the Planchette began to lift off of the board even with so many hands on top of it as everyone looked at eachother wondering what was going on.
"Who's moving it?" asked Lucas looking at Red
"It's not me; what about any of you guys?" asked Red looking at the researchers.
"It has to be the spirit I believe we have contacted one." The Planchette then made it's way to the top of the board where it said "YES" and pointed to the "YES" on the board. "So it appears that there is a Spirit here; ok then tell me why you are here in this building?" The Planchette began to move once again pointing towards the letters T, H, E, O, N, and E. "The One, you're looking for the One?" The Planchette pointed to YES once again. "Is anyone here in this room; The One?" The Planchette moved over on the Board to the word "NO" at the top and stopped there? "No, ok, well who or what is the One?" The Planchete moved over and landed on the following letters L, O, V, and E." Love, so The One was someone you loved?" The Planchette moved to the word YES again. "Why are you here in this building haunting the second floor; did you work here? The Planchette this time moved over to the letter H.O,M, and E . "Was this place you're home, did you have any family here or any Pokemon? The Planchette moved over to the letters H, O twice, P, and then A. "Hoopa, is this Hoopa you're looking for and is it a Pokemon?" asked the researcher, the Planchette landed on YES, and after that the candles began to flicker.
"The Candles are starting to Flicker, and that's not a good sign." said Lucas looking a bit afraid
"Hoopa huh? sounds like a intriguing Pokemon I don't think anyone has heard of before." said Red with a bit of curiosity as he looked at his terrified friend. "Lucas are you ok?" asked Red
"Yeah, i have a bad feeling we're not alone anymore."
"OK you where are you at inside this building?" The Planchette slided over to the letters F, L, O twice, R, and then the number 2. "If you're on the second floor than we're going to close this session and go look for you on the second floor. As he took the Planchete over to the board where it said Goodbye, ending the Ouija session as everyone gathered up their stuff to the elevator and made their way up to the Second Floor.
"Hello, Ms. Ghost Girl are you up here?" asked Red as a moment of silence was heard until a very loud thump, echoed in the room.
"What was that; who's there?" asked Lucas looking around flashing his flashlight to see what it was.
"Alakazam, can you use your Psychic powers to try to track down any paranormal anomaly in this room?" The Alakazam nodded and it's eyes turned blue as it concentrated on finding a Paranormal Entity, until it felt like it heard or saw something.
"ALA! (Yes!)" said the Alakazam in Pokemon talk, as it appears that Alakazam has discovered something in the room, as the room started to get colder.
WHO comes to my house now; YOU ARE NOT THE ONE!" said a loud voice as all of a sudden the figure of a creepy looking girl appeared before them as she looked at them with her eyes glowing blood red; terrifying everybody.
"Ghost Girl; we're not here to cause you any harm; we're here for answers about why you haunt this Building and what's Hoopa?" All of a sudden the Ghost Girl Vanished as everybody tried to run to the spot where she was at but for some reason Lucas stood still, as his psychic powers began spark around him.
"Wait everybody, my Psychic powers are trying to reach this girl." said Lucas as everybody gathered around him as Red approached Lucas.
"What's is she trying to say, and I hope she's not trying to possess you." Red was a bit concerned but Lucas's Psychic Powers was communicating with the specter.
"No Red, she thought we were here to cause harm, but apparently her Spirit is here because she's trying to find the one, that being the Legendary Pokemon Hoopa." Lucas explained as Red looked at Lucas as did the others. "This place was once an apartment where a girl lived with the man she loved; he was a Pokemon Researcher, who believed he had found the Mythical Pokemon known as Hoopa. One Day her lover went out to look once again for Hoopa, and took a Train to a place where he believed he would find the answers to; but unfortunately a Train Accident killed the man, and the news of her lover was so devastating that the girl died of a broken heart, and the reason she haunts this office was that; they lived on this floor together back when it was an apartment and before it was renovated into an office building. The Girl is looking for the One which is the Pokemon Hoopa and if the day it is found and brought her, than perhaps there's a way for her to cross over and be with her love again along with the Pokemon her lover died trying to find.
Everybody in the room felt sad themselves to think a Girl who loved someone so much would be waiting for the day a Pokemon her lover looked for and died trying to find will someday be the key to reuniting the two. "It appears that we have discovered that the Ghost Girl who haunts this building once lived here when it was an Apartment and she died of a broken heart after her lover died in a Train accident, she waited for him to come back but the sad reality of it is, he was gone, and she hopes that Hoopa will one day be discovered so she can finally move on and maybe reunite with her long lost lover." The Researcher then turned off his camera and everything. "All right everybody we got our answers; now let's pack up our Equipment and head out."
Lucas went back to normal as Red approached his friend with a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Are you ok, man?"
"Yeah, that was scary, but I believe I have conquered my fear of Ghosts and Spirits."
"I'm proud of you buddy, if we ever encounter Hoopa, we'll return here to bring it to that spirit."
"Right Red, we should let Professor Sycamore know about this, and also get some sleep before we head out tomorrow.
"Good idea!" said Red as both he and Lucas both let out a yawn, as the Researchers would restore the lights to building to see the near half asleep boys and let out a smile.
"We better carry these boys with us back to the Hotel." said a Researcher as he and another would pick up Red and Lucas and carried them both off bridal style, to the van as they would drive off into the night to a hotel where they would all get some sleep after a Successful investigation.
The Next Morning Red and Lucas were at Sycamore's Lab talking to Professor Sycamore about the Ghost Investigation and the truth they uncovered.
"So that Ghost Girl was waiting for a Mythical Pokemon named Hoopa to be found and brought to the Building so she can reunite with her lover that died in a Train Crash." Said Sycamore as he is astonished by this discovery.
"Yes, and if you watch the show tonight, you'll see me contacting her Via Psychic link." said Lucas as Sycamore smiled
"Well I hope you boys had a fun experience last night, how is the PokeDex and Adventure going along so far
"I've caught a Flabebe and won my first Gym Battle against Viola."
"That's great to hear Lucas, where are you boys heading now?"
"To Cyllige City!" Red said as Sycamore had something he wanted to say
"You boys may want to get yourselves some Bicycles because the Gym is located up on a mountain, in the city."
"OK, when we get there we'll remember."
"I wish you boys luck, and also i'm going to do some research about Hoopa and if I have anymore clues about it; i'll let you both know." Sycamore said as Red and Lucas nodded their heads and waved goodbye as the Research Team was still outside Sycamore's Lab as the Head of the team approached the two.
"I want to thank you boys for your help, and to show our appreciation we want you both to have these two Pokeballs, go ahead and open them." The Boys took the Pokeballs and opened them up and out came Pumpkaboo from Lucas's Pokeball and Chandelure from Red's as both Red and Lucas took out their Pokedexes to record the data for the Pokemon.
"Chandelure: The Ghost Chandelier Pokemon, Being consumed in Chandelure's Flames, burns up the spirit leaving the body behind; The Spirits burnt up in it's Ominous Flames, loses their way and wanders this world forever. Pumpkaboo: the Ghost, Jack O' Lantern Pokemon, Pumpkaboo's eyes can glow, which lights the way for travelers. They often sleep in the ground." Red and Lucas smiled and greeted the two Ghost Pokemon with smiles as both Chandelure and Pumpkaboo greeted Red and Lucas respectivley as the Researcher and his team were ready to leave.
"Where are you two going; do you need a ride?" asked the researcher and Red and Lucas both called back their new Pokemon and nodded their heads up and down.
"We're going to Cylliage City, can you take us there?" asked Lucas waiting for a response.
"Sure, well go on ahead in and we'll take you there." said the Researcher as Red and Lucas would get into the Van as the Van would drive all the way to the Coastal Town of Cylliage. "OK Guys, good luck on your Pokemon Adventures, take care now." said the Researcher as he waved goodbye and drove off as Red and Lucas looked at Cylliage City ready for the next Challenge.
After solving a Haunting Mystery, both Red and Lucas now find themselves gaining more courage and confidence in their abilities as Trainers and after Acquiring Chandelure and Pumpkaboo from the Paranormal Research Team both Red and Lucas stand ready for their next adventure. What will be in store for Lucas in his next Gym Battle? Find out in the next chapter of Surrogate Brothers, as the Adventure continues.
AN: This is only a Theory about the Lumiose Ghost Girl not facts, I only wanted to Clarify this so nobody will mistake this as being true because unless Nintendo and Game Freak lets us know what the Ghost Girl is doing in the game and if it's connected to Hoopa, then everything is just a theory; anyways Happy Halloween.
